A second man has in his 20s been charged in connection with a number of stabbing incidents in Dublin in connection with the investigation into a number of stabbings in Dublin City Centre on Saturday.

An 18-year-old man was charged earlier today and remains in custody.

The first attack happened at around 7.30pm when a man in his mid 20s was stabbed in the face and side by a group on Fleet Street.

A short time later, another man in his early 30s was assaulted by two males outside a night club on Cope Street. He was stabbed in the face and abdomen.

One man was arrested last night and a further two men were arrested this morning. All of them are aged in their late teens or early 20s.
